France in London

THE rally for the French presidential candidate, Emmanuel Macron, in Westminster last night was not only the best-dressed political gathering of recent times but an acknowledgement of London as France’s sixth city, as the candidate observed.

Brexit or no Brexit, that will still hold true. Please stay.
